OK, so I'm over the whole VW thing

[BradleyNIN]

At first it was cool. The guy at the vape store said it was the way he went and described how it measured ohms and put out the max volt for that ohm at that watt and "It was the only way to go".

A few days ago I finally filled my F16 carto tank and put it on an mvp. I noticed that it was pretty easy just dialing it down to 3.7, burnt taste and after 2 tries, found 3.3 the sweet spot. I then began switching my sigelei mini to VV and my new iTaste MVP as well. Its pretty easy, I know which volts to use on what tank, just like I did on my lavatube clone and protank 6 months ago.

Have we kind of bought into something that sounded cool but maybe was just more complicated?

I don't believe so.

I have a collection of tanks with various liquids and various cartomizers (with resistances that I've selected with some trial and error to be a good match for that particular liquid) and for me, having a VV/VW device means that as I swap out tanks and take a draw, I've not had to fiddle with anything (I keep my mod in VW mode).

My wattages stays in the same general area that I like each combination with (maybe a tweak up or down to refine the wattage) but the device is dealing with the resistance change without me having to do anything (especially think).

Variable Wattage doesn't mean there's no "fiddling" to find the sweet spot for certain tanks and juices. It just means that it's a different way of arriving at the same spot.

6 of one, half dozen of the other.

It's nothing more than which is easiest for an individual to wrap their head around. The e-liquid could care less which math formula us use to adjust your PV. With a mechanical PV you adjust the resistance .... still accomplishes the same thing.

No. VW is closer to "set & forget" than VV by it's very nature. Your comment brought to mind the old guy who wouldn't consider driving anything but a standard shift truck or shave with anthing but a straight razor.

Hay!!!!!!!! I resemble that



well the old guy part anyway

 

[footbag]

My device has VV and VW. I only use VW and it makes it so much easier.

I completely disagree with that statement. I have no problem wrapping my head around the diff in vw and vv. I still prefer volts over watts. Ive tried watts a couple different times to no avail. dont ask me why but it just doesnt hit the same as vv to me IMHO. Ill stick with volts cuz thats what works for me, not that i cant "get it"

These are your simplest and best answers. It is all in what you are comfortable with. I have and use devices that work both ways. I personally am comfortable with either.
As to which I prefer........... Well I prefer the eVics I use most and they have always been running in watts mode. Making simple adjustments of a few tenths is usually all that is needed for a different tank design or e-liquid blend.

Moving on to Audis?

Watts are a measure of power - think "amount of heat." When set to VW, you get the same amount of heat, regardless of the resistance. If you run a 2 Ohm coil @ 3.7 V, it produces 6.8 W of heat. If you switch to a 1.5 Ohm on a VV, you'll need to change to 3.2 V to get the same Watts (heat). On a VW, you do nothing - it makes the change for you.

Sure, different liquids and different coil layouts, etc. may work best with slightly more or less heat. But, I think you'll find that VW will consistently result in things being very close to what's desired. It's much easier to adjust up or down a step or two on VW than to have to remember the specific voltage for each coil/liquid combo.

 

[Ref Minor]

You like liquid A at 6 watts, put it in a different tank or recoil it, you will still like it at 6 watts.

You like liquid B at 3.7v in a Protank with a 2.2 ohm coil, you recoil with a 2.5 ohm coil you will have to fiddle more to find the sweet spot.

VW is simpler if you associate a liquid with a wattage as the resistance is taken care of.

 

[D. Waterhouse]

Considering I don't change the resistance of my heads hardly at all the only advantage that VW mode has over VV mode in my SID is that it remembers the setting when I change the battery. In my opinion VW isn't any use unless you change toppers and topper resistance several times a day. When I was using VV mode in my SID I didn't change voltages after the first day. If it remembered the VV setting during battery changes I wouldn't have changed it at all.

It might be chip Quality that comes into play. Is the Vamo's chip as good as the Evic/Zmax?

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

Hi. For a new vaper, without experience, it is the best way to learn about what juices need what wattage in which atomizer. As you learn what you like and how you like it, You'll probably branch out to other options. I like 8 watts on the juices that I buy, so I use am unregulated mod with Boge F16s. Doesn't mean that my eVic is gathering dust, it is great too. Part of the fun of vaping is learning and trying new things. Good luck and have fun!

 

[Mr343]

Man for me this subject is as personnel as how the flavor tastes in a particular e-liquid. What works for you may not for me and Vs versa..... If VV works for you cool..... VW works for me. I switch tanks when I use my VW device so much that I just don't like having to remember what voltage was this tank again? I am just lazy that way. I guess that is why I prefer my geni and mechs most of the time.

But again that is just me.....

Not in my opinion. The eVic and MVP provide DC output. Since you are heating a coil, keeping the voltage constant is the way to the most accurate temperature. Pulse width modulated devices use the max voltage and cut it a number of times per second to produce an 'average' voltage of what you set. Many of the modulated devices use 33Hz and the proof is the 'rattlesnake' sound that they make. Good luck and have fun!

 

[volume control]

I gave up searching for the ultimate voltage for my coil a long time ago. Just a mech and an LR carto and im very happy with the output. When i had my Evic i preferred using the VW though as it changed the voltage in smaller increments, so i could dial in better. The reason i dont still use it is because it burned through batteries fast. Guess im happy with things as simple as they can be

That's only true if you stick to roughly the same resistances on the same wicking material. If that's the case, you could just as well set & forget in VV mode.

 

[SissySpike]

VW is not set and forget as we thought it would be when it first hit the market. To those of you who say its easier than VV I think your smoking not vaping stuff in your mod! VV and VW require some adjustments to get the optimal desired setting. It takes about 10 seconds and you have to push a button, not to tough of a job.

As far as wrapping your mind around something its the same thing, VV is the same as VW the coil reaches a certian temp when you put X amount of power to it. The coil dose not know if you have a VV or VW, It dose not magically work better or easier cause you have VW mode set.

There are no simple mods just simple people;-)
